It harbours a vast array of biologically diverse marine environment and resources which are the primary source of livelihood of millions of Filipinos living along the coasts. However, the country also hosts various natural and anthropogenic threats that cause serious damage to our once healthy and rich ecosystems. It is therefore, imperative to develop a creative, adaptive, and effective management of these resources. The establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) has been accepted as an effective strategy on coastal and marine resource management. The main objectives for the establishment of these MPAs include, among others: protection and rehabilitation of coastal and marine resources and habitats; replenish fish resources; and promote ecotourism. In 2011, a total of 1,208 MPAs were recorded in the country and many others are being proposed (SCTR 2012). Some of these MPAs have been declared under Republic Act 7586 or the National Protected Areas System Act (NIPAS Act of 1992), while others were established through other national laws and municipal ordinances. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources through its Protected Area and Wildlife Bureau-Coastal and Marine Management Office has taken active role in addressing concerns to improve the effectiveness of MPAs under the NIPAS through the Sustainable Coral Reef Ecosystems Management Program (SCREMP). This program includes strategic, sustainable, and ecosystem-based approach in protecting and rehabilitating our coral reefs. Effective management of these MPAs will improve our marine ecological systems that support about 62% of Filipinos that highly depend on these resources for their everyday living, hence, we need to assess the performance of these MPAs. Monitoring the management effectiveness of these MPAs

Submission Date: 12-05-2020; Revision Date: 01-07-2020; Accepted Date: 05-07-2020 ABSTRACT Correspondence: Dr. Janeth C Tayone, The study assessed the human health risks of heavy metals and the antibacterial activities of Institute of Agriculture and commonly consumed mollusk species, Anadara maculosa, Antigona puerpera, Canarium Life Sciences, Davao Orien- urceus and Lambis lambis from Guang-guang, Pujada Bay, City of Mati, Davao Oriental, tal State College of Science Philippines. Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) contents were determined using Atomic Absorption and Technology, City of Mati-8200, Davao Oriental, Spectrophotometer. On the other hand, the agar well diffusion method was used for the antibacterial PHILIPPINES. activity determination. Water quality, which includes temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and total Phone no: +63 9359177458 dissolved solids, were also investigated. The Cd and Pb concentrations in four marine mollusks were below the standard limit for Cd and Pb in fish and fishery/aquatic products set by the FAO No.210 Email: njtayone2005@ series of 2001. Furthermore, the result of the human health risk assessment using Chronic Daily yahoo.com Intake, Hazard Quotient and carcinogenic risk for Cd and Pb were below the acceptable level set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Cd and Pb metals uptake through marine mollusc ingestion posed no potential non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks to human health.

  • Current Status and Prospects of Protected Areas in the Light of the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities
    Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.

The SSC's Action Plans, Occasional Papers, newsletter Species and other publications are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation. To date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to SSC Specialist Groups. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and support for species conservation worldwide. The Council of Agriculture (COA), Taiwan has awarded major grants to the SSC's Wildlife Trade Programme and Conservation Communications Programme. This support has enabled SSC to continue its valuable technical advisory service to the Parties to CITES as well as to the larger global conservation community. Among other responsibilities, the COA is in charge of matters concerning the designation and management of nature reserves, conservation of wildlife and their habitats, conservation of natural landscapes, coordination of law enforcement efforts as well as promotion of conservation education, research and international cooperation.
